Citizens can only work the tiles in a radius of 3, but afaik there's no limit on a city's territorial influence, except the time it takes for your borders to grow. A worker or work boat can improve strategic resources to gain the resource at any range as long as the tile is within your territory.

I discovered another clue: If I deselect my own civ, the chart autoscales correctly. If I reselect my own civ, it goes back to a much higher (more zoomed out) scale. Note also I am assuming the y-axis scales being used for each graph are the ones left over from the last game... no direct...

I finished one game and started another, but the vertical scale of the Demographics graphs (GPT, Military Might, etc) has not reset. All the graphs are still autoscaling to the scores in the previous game. The current game's curves are all smooshed down to the time axis. Kinda renders this...

Well honestly, it has since become the cakewalk I expected a Warlord game to be. It just surprised me not to already be running away with the game by the end of the Medieval era. It gave me a real nagging feeling I was overlooking something important, but expansion from 4 to 18 cities is...

Interesting. I tried internal trade routes to help the production of new cities while they focus on growth and it was effective. I'll try that the other way around. Since the OP I've gone from four cities to twelve and have settled most of the unclaimed continental territories, and now am...

Ok. Yeah, warlord is rather forgiving. I wanted to play thru all eras and learn the mechanics of the new trade system, tourism, archaeology, etc., without getting wiped out early and having to restart... also partly why I played one of my least favorite AI opponents. [Somehow I always get...

Long time player (from Civ I thru Civ V G&K) but new to BNW so I started a game on Warlord just to learn the mechanics. Playing Japan on Continents, mainly because I hate playing against Nobunaga. Large map with only 8 Civs. I was hoping for more room to expand, as I usually try to play...

My steam client is downloading an 8.6 MB patch for Civ 5 G&K Mac right now... is this the "fall patch" or just a "late summer" patch? Or a "very early winter" patch?

In case anyone's still interested, here is a current link to all three articles (appearing in reverse order FSR...): http://blog.gameagent.com/tag/art-of-war/ [I know it's a necro, but now that it's been raised, I thought I might satisfy any renewed curiosity...]

You should take a look at CivIII's circular bubble chart interface. I jumped from CivIII to CivV and really do miss some of the polished interface features of the former... also some of the diplomatic options. Edit: I like your matrix display, too. It's functionally very similar to the...

Leapfrogged Civ4 because my old MBP wasn't really up to the specs, and had plenty of replayability left in Civ3. Bought a new laptop last week the day G&K came out, so I had to make the leap. But I haven't had time to play more than a few turns of the introductory Austria scenario on a...

Very interesting organization - should be quite practical, and gives a different approach to studying the game. Thank you!

Whenever I use my advisor screen during diplomatic negotiations, the advisor screens afterwards have inconvenient graphic problems, even when called directly from the main game window. The bug is mixing up elements from the different advisor displays. Quitting and reloading usually fixes...

Back in 1991 I bought a new Mac IIci to replace my dying Mac Plus, and needed some games that took advantage of the novelty of Color! So one Friday evening on my way home from work, I stopped at Egghead Software and on the lone Mac shelf, there was a pretty paltry choice of games: Might and...

I downloaded the C4 demo earlier this week and experienced the following problems: - Terrain in main window was blacked out, with some image contours visible as blue speckles, but completely unplayable. - Sound feedback for clicking controls, buttons, and units made my speakers pop, LOUD...
